Bhagwan, Hindi ko bachao...

For all my blog readers

I'm sorry that I had to disappoint you by not updating my blog though I had in numerous things to share but I was busy in office;) I mean I really had work believe me yaar.. So couldn't blog anything..

Thought of sharing with you the some of the instances that shows linguistic ability

Scene 1:

I was traveling for a relative's marriage and that was my first trip to UP. There was a kid in the train ans she was playing in the seat. That was the time I was learning to speak in Hindi . I tried to form sentences. I was trying to speak in my broken hindi with the kid and the kids mother. I wanted to tell her that we will get down in next station and I said " Hum agale station pe girenge";) Everybody started laughing.. Then my cousin told me that Girenge means falling and I have to use "uthrenge" and not "girenge".

Scene 2:

I was in Trivandrum (my golden days - ILP). There I had lots of north Indian friends. They always make fun of Hindi grammar. In Hindi even non living things has gender unlike in my mother tongue and English where we use ("adhu" or It" for animals and non living things). So I was trying hard to correct my Hindi.One day myself and two of my roomies went to nearby hotel to have our dinner and since I had finished my dinner soon I started to my room while they continued to chat with other friends. I went to room (which was in third floor) and had to go back to the hotel as I didn't have a key with me and it was with one of my roomies I really got irritated and I told her "Pagal kutti" a strange expression was in her face and then smiled uncomfortably and gave me the key. While cmg back I understood the meaning of what I said . I wanted to tell her "Crazy dog " but due to my blind translation I had told "crazy B***H". I was feeling very bad and then understood why she had such an expression in her face. Told her sorry thousand times with a smirk and then decided that I should never scold a person off course only in Hindi ;)

Food is god...

Yesterday, the time was around 5. I had called my ex- colleague for some help from the previous office:).. He started off the conversation by telling that he was in Kapi kadai.. Oh no.. i started missing it already also I was hungry then .. i went to a colleague’s place and was asking her whether will i get anything to eat over here...

Alas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good it should not happen to anyone. she told me that we have to walk at least 10 mins to find a hotel and there are no sandwich shops near by:(..
she was suggesting me to order a Pizza from the Pizza corner nearby.. (i don't like Pizza for various reasons).. also i like grilled sandwiches a lot..
I was very much depressed that i couldn't eat anything when i want to eat..
Food is the foremost reason for me not to go away from India in particular Tamilnadu..
Though i can enjoy other cuisines to some extent.. i prefer a lot indianised western food.. Like panner grilled sandwich.. and veg hot dog. which has got cutlet sorts...
my mouth started watering the moment i heard the word sandwich and believe me.. for the past one year i make it to eat in the kapi kadai at least once in a week. in fact there had been a period when i used to go daily:(...
once again i started to previous feeling of y did i quit that place for i had so many good things i like to do over ther.. so much of fun and very little work very flxible work timings orkut and all messengers :(.. except fro career and good relationship with my supervisor i should i really enjoyed being in that place..

I started consoling myself like padma now this is ur place and slowly slowly u will get used to it.. But still that longing for eating the hot sandwich couldn't be resisted..
Then all of a sudden.. a surprise happened.. Wait wait wait no no no. Don’t imagine some one gave me a sandwich or something..
all of a sudden i got the idea to drop in kapi kadai while going home. i had called two of colleagues out of which one was at home and another was in a meeting but still that didn't discourage. i went to kapi kadai..
ordered for boiled corn (lemon and pepper flavor) and ordering panner grilled sandwich;) (to all the eye putters pls don't put eyes ok)..
while I was eating the butter corn my rakhi brother called me and he was literally laughing at me telling that no one could be as insane as to me to drop in alone in a coffee shop while on the way home for the sake of sandwich..
I told him, if not for satisfying my desires that too very reasonable one.. y i should earn (don't ask me how much, as the govt loots quite some amt as tax and company is generous enough to make many annual component favoring the government:( thereby reducing the take home considerably less..).. and was enjoying the food.. as though it was amruth.. it was indeed .. i like good tasty and to some extent healthy food ( very rarely i eat the otherwise except for the fryums and some other stuffs like that) ..
I have seen so many people not eating just becoz they have to eat alone.. But me being a sapturami (a person who keeps on eating) would not mind it if I wanna eat something..
I can't resist food i like mainly when I’m hungry and i would do my level best to eat it.. and get strange desires of eating at times.. all of a sudden i feel like eating naan with panner butter masala and i will go and eat in spite of whether food is prepared at home or not.. Often i get scolding fro that from my mom..
But i have a principle "Live to Eat" ;-).. Finally panner sandwich arrived and without any doubt it was delicious. paid the bill and started to home with a satisfied smile on my face...telling to myself.. ;-)..

Mixed emotions

New office.. New environment and new people..
It is human tendency to always compare the new things with the old things always.. Most of the times the old things seems to be good rather better as we get used to that..
also human tendency is to resist change and to and I'm no exception to that.even though at every point of my life I've been physically separated from my friends..

For eg.. I studied kindergarten in one school... Primary standards in one school, 6 to 10 in one school and higher secondary in completely different city. Everywhere I had to leave my previous schools friends and make new friends.even it happened in my college. My 1st friends and the remaining semester friends are different but still I had tried to stay in touch with all friends but it so happens that some of them loose touch...

in office also. When I get really close to my friends then they will eventually be separated from me:(.. But anyway I got used to it.. And I'm a person who takes very little time to speak and but hell a lot of time to get close with a person.. What to do.... I'm like that..

everything in the new place seems to be annoying... Every tissue of my body is resisting to accept the change...
during the first day when I was sitting idly , I felt like going to my previous office itself. believe.. there I was in my comfort level and here I don't know absolutely anybody.. The stupid friend friend of mine (erumai kada balaji) who had referred me.. Has moved to another office in the city (gunned).. They may or may not shift me to that office..
Some of the benefits of my old office are again and again coming into my mind..
Very flexible work timings my schedule but here I need to be here before 9:30.. And I can leave by 6.. (I reached home yesterday by 6:45 and didn't know what to do.. Couldn't bear the stupid mega serials my mom watched during that time. So sat with a novel to read..)..
No orkut here:(.. Really sad.. All my orkut friends will feel bad:(..But yahoo and rediff are there.. And I can access my mails.
Food is free here but no snacks on the middle only coffee, T or milk is available:(.. And no proper cafeteria sorts.. Only lunch and evening snacks at 6.45( my fellow colleague said it is not worth of staying os I have not tasted it yet) are available..Me longing for the hrs I had spend in kapi kadai / Gangothree eating delicious hot dogs/ sand wiches and pani puri.. I'm missing that...in fact my taste buds..
and the best part is the evening walk I had.. to reach those coffee shops..that was very pleasant when my rakhi brother was there as v used to discuss almost all the things on earth and obvious our views hardly match.. And after he left to onsite, went with my colleague friend.. Good and her ideas and mine usually doesn't mismatch but still talking useless things itself is a freedom:).. The most important thing was that the ambiance had lot of greens and me being a nature lover. Miss them a lot.. But what to do.. I can't go back there..
worst of all is I can't call to Cousin, friends and bro in Us :(.. From this office..
I knew all these things will happen anyway.. So just waiting for me to get used to this environment:).. Waiting for them to give me some work:)
